About DJ Tiesto

Several years ago, DJ Tiesto (often referred to just as Tiesto) established his reputation as one of the greatest DJs ever to spin music. Legendary for his dance mixes and his producing talents, DJ Tiesto has taken the art of playing recorded music to new heights with the combined skills of a stage performer and the natural musical insight to command an audience at will. DJ Tiesto is like a master psychologist in concert. He knows before his listeners do exactly what buttons to push, what sounds to produce, what music to play, in order to rev them up to their peak levels. Pick up some DJ Tiesto tickets then get ready for a night of moving and pulsing to the infectious beats he puts on, with sound blended to a mix of perfection that permeates through the air, moves your body, and sinks into your bones. You won't want to stop moving after seeing him in concert. Before he ever performed in the United States, DJ Tiesto was already becoming a household name in Europe. Born Tijs Michiel Verwest in 1969 in North Brabant, Netherlands, he gained experience as a DJ at the Dutch club The Spock. In 1997, he partnered with his close friend Arny Bink in founding the now-legendary company Black Hold Recordings, which produced the trance music classics 'Sururban Train,' 'Flight 643' and 'Lethal Industry.' In 2001, DJ Tiesto released his debut solo album, In My Memory which resulted in several hits and boosted his career to stardom. He was named 'World's No. 1 DJ' three consecutive times by DJ Magazine from 2002 through 2004. In his more recent albums, DJ Tiesto has taken to more experimentation with electronic genres, working with established artists, like Tegan &amp Sara and Nelly Furtado on his 2009 release Kaleidoscope, a departure from his earlier albums, which focused mostly on trance. His latest album, Club Life: Volume One Las Vegas was released in 2011. One of the first DJs ever to perform in front of stadium audiences, DJ Tiesto continues to break new ground as a DJ as he intuits exactly what audiences want to hear before they even know it.
